Presentation programs act like an electronic outline used to present information.
Graphics such as clip art, photographs, and motion clips can be added to a presentation to aid in comprehension and add interest.
Sounds can also be added to a presentation to add emphasis.
Presentation programs help the speaker by keeping their thoughts in order and helping him/her to remember the presentation.
Presentation programs help the audience members remember the information presented because they not only hear it, but they also see it.
